Zombie Meme

Taken by several:

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:

1. one weapon.

2. one song blasting on the speakers.

3. one famous person to fight alongside you.


1.) After consulting Max Brooks' zombie survival guide, it looks like my ideal weapon of choice would be the M1 Carbine semiautomatic rifle. It doesn't waste ammo and is idea for both long and short range, plus is lightweight with a short muzzle, making it perfect for indoor combat and long journeys on foot. It was a tough choice between that and the WWII M1 Garand; that bayonet would come in awful handy in a tight spot.

2.) What else? Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party." Subject appropriateness aside, it's got a great energy that's upbeat, dark, and also energetic enough to keep one going (see also: Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" in SHAUN OF THE DEAD)

3.) There might be a better choice, but if I had to pick off the top of my head? Teddy Roosevelt.

Your answer to three was inspired but I have to dock you a point for checking with a reference material. This isn't an open book test!

(Besides, I'm not sure what bullets do to the undead. Besides tickle. I'm thinking it'll take serious fire power before they'll stop lurching after me.)

Wow, you think out and explain your answers! I'm just over here going "a large crowbar, Ultra by KMFDM, and Jackie Chan." XD

Ah Zombies

Yanked, taken and posted. Nice to know if I hear another M1A on the other side of the mall I can make my way to it's user and know that the zombie apocalypse just got more entertaining. Long as you don't insist on calling me "Bub"

1. Maggots. Millions and millions of maggots. They feast on dead meat, and don't touch living human flesh! I would go and hide somewhere safe and not come out until the maggots had eaten all the zombies from their feet up.

2. Muse "Knights of Cydonia", if only for the lines in the chorus that go "No one's going to take me alive! You and I must fight to survive!"

3. Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Pretty sure he could build something to either let us escape, or to trap all the zombie hordes. Something involving big tunnels and spinning propellor blades, no doubt.
